  Social Science What do you think US space policy should be? (If you are an international student, you may also write about your home country.) How much money should we spend on astronomical research and space exploration, and how should it be spent? (“None at all; we have other problems” is an acceptable answer – do not think that since I’m a physicist I believe my work is the most important use of tax money!) Defend your choice; what fundamental values and what economic realities influence it? What benefits does it offer to America (or your home country) and to the world? Do you think your proposed policy is likely to be implemented?
